Ever since I saw my first NHL game at hockey heaven, aka Bell Centre in Montreal on October 23rd, 2003, I hooked on hockey. I had no idea what hockey was (it was very minor sports in my home country, Japan), so my husband gave me some lessons while watching the game that night. I even didn't know the black thing on ice was called "puck" and it was just too hard to follow the puck on ice while watching my first NHL game! Since then, I watched many hockey games on every level, college, AHL, CHL, NHL and youth hockey and that's the only sport I truly enjoy watching both on TV and at the rink.
This mini hockey 101 series will show you some hockey rules. If you are not hockey fan yet, hope you will learn the idea and start watching hockey! If you are already a hockey fan, way to go! Let's be a hockey fan with class, praising both teams with good play, not abusing the opponent team and their fans!
Icing penalty
When a player of a team shoots, bats with the hand or stick or deflects the puck from his own half of the ice completely beyond the goal line of the opposing team, play is stopped and a face-off will take place at an end zone face-off spot in the defending zone of the offending team.
In youth hockey, USA Hockey chenged the rule on 2017-2018 season and if the team is under 14U, you cannot ice the puck even you are penalty killing (which I still cannot get the nessesity of changing this rule!).
